[soul_survivor]

btw the 00s is severely underrated in that poll, what about MAB, JMM, Morales, Wlad, Vit, Hops, Martinez, Froch, Calzaghe, Hatton, Ward, Kessler, RJJ still good for a bit, Oscar, Mosley, Forest, Wright, Williams, Cotto....

[mezoomozaa]

I voted for 80s, and my second is 70s

[Japanese Boxing]

It's a pretty good discussion... I voted 40's... But 50's and 20's is really close for me too. A lot of great fighters.

Right up there with the 80s. It's a hard one too as there are so many crossovers between all decades. I'd have to go with the 60, 70 and 80's though.

You left out two huge names from the 90's, and perhaps the biggest!

De La Hoya and Trinidad
